This book
is Doris Aiken's candidly revealed story of her confrontations with lawyers, politicians, the media and the alcohol industry in her struggle to
reform DWI laws. She recounts these adventures with humor and yet the lessons for citizen activists lie clearly therein. In 1978 Doris Aiken
had a vision to alleviate drunk driving. Her battle to change our nation's views and policies is a must read book for parents concerned about binge drinking
or the risk of motorists on the road. What to do about it and how to do it is told in this blow by blow tale. In
1978 Doris Aiken had a vision to alleviate drunk driving. She took on
the alcohol industry, the government, defense lawyers and an apathetic
public. This is her journey to changing our nation's views and policies
as well as saving so many lives. "The
right of citizens to petition government was rarely exercised as in the
1980's by Doris Aiken, leader of RID, to deter drunken driving.
Thousands are alive today because of her prodding of government to
combat this menace." Leslie G.Foschio, Federal Magistrate "Stunningly,
against all odds, her voice was heard. The results . . . fatal crashes
during bar hours decreased by 35.6% between 1980-1983." Chris
Cernik, Esq. - Senior NYS Assembly Counsel on DWI Reform To
